III. Details of bible prophecy from the book of Revelation
Seal 1. First Horseman. White Signifying Conquest Over Mankind.
Scripture Reference: (Rev 6:1-8 NIV) I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" {2} I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
The Greek word "crown" here is "stephanos" or "conqueror's crown". Economic and political conquerors will arise, effecting bloodless economic and political coups, to establish regional oligarchies of state corporate rule. Leaders will emerge to shape and mold foreign policy such as the PANC has done with the US foreign policy and the Ahtisaari plan for establishing Kosovo as a sovereign nation state. And leaders will announce Security and Prosperity Framework Agreements, such as the Federal Reserve's TAF, TSLF, and PDCF, and also the SPP, which replace traditional and constitutional law. Stakeholders will be appointed oversee natural resources, and manage the economic institutions of finance, banking, commerce, investment and trade. Society will be pyramidal in shape. Eventually, a global king, the Antichrist, will rise to rule over mankind.
Arlen L Chitwood notes the difference between the Greek words "stephanos" and "diadema", relative to the Antichrist and his kingdom. Stephanos is used of the type crown worn by the Antichrist, when he is first introduced in the book of Revelation (6:2), but later diadema, is used relative to his exercise of delegated power and authority, (12:3; 13:1, 2).
This current world belongs to Lucifer and his angels, who use every evil and erroneous thing, to enable those of the world, to conquer over good and truthful principles and processes.
Seal 2. Second Horseman. Red Signifying Violence.
Scripture Reference: {3} When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" {4} Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.
Seal 3. Third Horseman. Black Signifying Increasing Famine And Inflation And Financial Death.
Scripture Reference: {5} When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. {6} Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"
The cry to not "damage" the oil and wine could represent attempts to safeguard the pockets of abundance against plundering. An alternative meaning is that there is practically no oil and wine left; that would also fit with the admonition that what is left not be harmed—lest there be none left at all.
Financial death has come to investors in two of Tacoma's Russell Investments' funds as they they can have only 10% of their money back right now, with the rest available down the road, after losses and investor withdrawals forced the huge investment firm to close the funds.
Seal 4. Fourth Horseman. Pale Green Signifying Chaos.
Scripture Reference: {7} When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" {8} I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

Rising food prices threaten social calamity in India
French high school students protest education cuts
V. God is sovereign over all
Ross A Taylor writes: "In Revelation chapter 4 we see God seated on the throne in heaven, it is he who is sovereign over earthly events. We should notice first that only the Lamb (Jesus) is able to take the scroll from God and to break the seals and reveal its contents. Each of the four riders is summoned onto human history by one of the heavenly living creatures. Notice the phase 'he was given a crown', 'was given power', 'do not damage the oil and the wine', 'were given power over', all of this indicates that the four riders are under the sovereignty of God. Even if we do not understand earthly events, the message of Revelation is that God is sovereign from the start to the finish. Then his enemies will be defeated and punished and his saints vindicated and rewarded. Followed by a new earth with no more death or mourning or crying or pain."
